A person checking on a neighbor's house Sunday in Le Roy was surprised to find an intruder hiding in the basement.
Nobody was hurt in the incident, but the Le Roy Police Department is looking for assistance from the public in identifying the burglar.
The incident occurred between 8:30 and 9 p.m. on Hilltop Drive after a person returned home from watching the Super Bowl half-time show at another location and noticed a suspicious person standing near a neighbor's house.
The suspicious person disappeared from sight and the resident checked his neighbor's door and found it ajar. The resident then checked the house and found the intruder in the basement.
The intruder pushed the resident out of the way and fled.
The police press release did not specify whether anything was stolen nor did it provide a description of the suspect.
Police investigators are asking that anybody who might have information related to this incident to call 768-2527.
